Lincoln Electric WIRE FEED MODULE IM 513-B - Manual (Page 8)

– 8 –
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Wire Feed Module (WFM) is an additional output
control device designed to be easily installed into the
Classic
® and Pipeliner Series of Engine Welders or
the SA-250 Perkins or 350SA Perkins engine driven
welders (with code 10061 and above). The WFM
modifies the dynamic output characteristics of the
welder to provide excellent voltage control for semiau-
tomatic wire electrode welding and other open arc
processes. With the module installed, the welder can
be easily set to operate in either the constant voltage
or the standard constant current modes. The constant
voltage mode is adjusted with the controls convenient-
ly mounted on the control panel or with an optional
remote control. The main module contains a capacitor
bank, electronic control circuit and a “COLD TIP” con-
tactor. This module easily attaches to the welders fuel
tank support. Field installation takes approximately 60
minutes.
DESIGN FEATURES
• Easy access to the controls located on the welder
control panel.
• Greatly enhanced welding arc performance. Now a
wider range of wire electrodes and processes are
supported by this device.
• Improved arc starting characteristics.
• Low spatter MIG welding with CO
2
Gas.
• Built into the WFM is a power contactor that pro-
vides a “COLD” electrode when the gun trigger is
released.
• Simplified field installation process. All control wiring
connections between the welder, the control panel,
and the WFM are easily made with in-line plug type
connections.
• Includes thermostatic protection to protect the
welder from over current and over temperature.
RECOMMENDED WIRE FEEDERS
AND ACCESSORIES
The WFM is designed to work with the complete
family of LN-7, LN-25, and LN-23P wire feeders.
